The word "tangent" comes from the Latin tangere, meaning "to touch".
In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right
angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that
meet at a right angle).
The mass density or density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. The symbol most often
used for density is ρ (the Greek letter rho).
called specific weight. where ρ is the density, m is the mass, and V is the volume.
Weight is the force that results from the acceleration by gravity on the mass of an object.
whether the definition is based on the standard gravity of the Earth, or is based on any
other proper acceleration, for example, Moon's gravity for an object on the moon;
whether the quantity is determined directly and is thus weighing-instrument-dependent
(see apparent weight), or is determined indirectly, from other measurements of mass and
acceleration;
whether the quantity is a vector or a scalar.

Force of Gravity:
Fg = Gm1m2/r^2
m is mass of object
g is acceleration due to gravity
h is height of object above the surface of Earth
Eg is the amount of gravitational potential energy an object has when it is near the surface of the
Earth
Pressure is an effect which occurs when a force is applied on a surface. Pressure is the amount of
force acting on a unit area. The symbol of pressure is P.
Where:
γ is the specific weight of the material (weight per unit volume, typically N/m3 units)
ρ is the density of the material (mass per unit volume, typically kg/m3)
g is acceleration due to gravity (rate of change of velocity, given in m/s2)

Specific gravity is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density
(mass of the same unit volume) of a reference substance. Apparent specific gravity is the ratio of
the weight of a volume of the substance to the weight of an equal volume of the reference
substance.

Measuring volume
Liquid volume is measured with beakers, measuring cups, spoons, graduated cylinders, and the
like. For regular objects, solid volume can be calculated. For irregular objects, their volumes can
be determined by measuring the amount of liquid that is displaced by the object when it is
submerged in the liquid.
The volume of a solid object with a regular geometric shape (rectangular box, cube, cylinder,
sphere) can be determined using the volume formula for the shape.
Because many objects are not regularly shaped their volume cannot be determined using a
volume formula. The volume of these objects can be found by water displacement. A volume of
water sufficient to cover the object is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume read. The
object is added to the cylinder and the volume read again. The difference between the two
volumes is the volume of the object. This method is demonstrated using the same battery used
above.
Liquid volumes can be measured in various ways using special apparatus orequipment.
The measuring (or graduated) cylinder .This is for measuring out approximate volumes of liquids.
It is graduated in cubic centimeters or milliliters. It comes in various sizes ;5ml, 10ml, 50ml,
100ml, 250ml, 1000ml and 2000ml.
For all liquids, except mercury, the correct reading is taken at the bottom of the curved liquid
surface. For mercury the correct reading is taken at the top.The burette.This is a glass vessel that
delivers small volumes of liquid up to usually, 50 cm3. For greater accuracy, it is long and thin
and graduated in milliliters. Readingsare always taken at the level of the bottom of the meniscus.
A pipette is used to transfer a measured volume of liquid from one container to another. A
Syringe.It is similar to pipette, but is used to inject a known volume, such as 5ml, of a particular
liquid medication.Volumetric Flask.It holds a fixed volume of liquid when filled up to the mark on
the neck.Each of the above pieces of measuring apparatus comes in different sizes.

Surface area and volume formulas are part of the math used in common science calculations.
You may need to calculate surface area and volume to
determine density,pressure and concentration, for example. While it's a good idea to memorize
these formulas, here a list of surface area and volume formulas to use as a handy reference.
Shapes
Formula
Rectangle:
Area = Length X Width
A = lw
Triangle
Area = 1/2 of the base X the height
a = 1/2 bh
Perimeter = a + b + c
(add the length of the three sides)
